Description

The symposium brings together researchers, development practitioners, creative practitioners and human rights advocates. We will discuss how creative processes can be explored and integrated into research, advocacy and monitoring and evaluation in the Asia-Pacific region.

Following on from the Women of the World (WOW) festival (6-8 April 2018), the symposium will engage in topics such as gender and human rights. We will reflect on the way in which research, through inclusive and collaborative approaches, can challenge dominant representations and unequal power dynamics in community development.

The two-day symposium includes presentations and creative workshops which provide a space for people with different backgrounds to share their experiences. Speakers will include human rights defenders from Papua New Guinea, academics exploring creative research approaches with community groups and postgraduate students.

The symposium explores the use of creative and digital methods, co-creation and co-design approaches, indigenous pedagogies with regards to themes around international development, gender inequalities, human rights policy and advocacy, peace and conflict mediation, climate change, land and environment
